Combining capabilities usually reserved for a computer-controlled converter the DECIMATOR MD-HX Miniature HDMI/SDI Cross Converter with Scaling & Frame Rate Conversion is a small independent device that features the same proven cross converter found in DECIMATOR's larger MD-DUCC. The MD-HX features both an HDMI and a 3G-SDI input and can cross-convert either signal to the other. It features a built-in scaler and frame rate converter as well, allowing you to convert the input signal to your required output standard.
The MD-HX features one HDMI output and two pairs of 3G-SDI outputs, controllable via fourteen selectable conversion modes, providing you with a variety of modes to fit your needs. This converter does not require a computer or DIP switches to control as it incorporates a small LCD screen for menu functions, and four buttons for control. It comes with a power supply with a locking power cable to prevent accidental power loss during use.
14 Conversion Modes:
1. SDI In to HDMI and SDI Out
2. SDI Into SDI Out and HDMI In to HDMI Out
3. SDI Into SDI Out and Scaled SDI In to HDMI Out
4. SDI Into SDI Out and Scaled HDMI In to HDMI Out
5. HDMI Into SDI Out and SDI In to HDMI Out
6. HDMI In to HDMI and SDI Out
7. HDMI Into SDI Out and Scaled SDI In to HDMI Out
8. HDMI Into SDI Out and Scaled HDMI In to HDMI Out
9. Scaled SDI Into SDI Out and SDI In to HDMI Out
10. Scaled SDI Into SDI Out and HDMI In to HDMI Out
11. Scaled SDI In to HDMI and SDI Out
12. Scaled HDMI Into SDI Out and SDI In to HDMI Out
13. Scaled HDMI Into SDI Out and HDMI In to HDMI Out
14. Scaled HDMI In to HDMI and SDI Out
HDMI to SDI / SDI to HDMI
The HDMI or SDI input can be scaled and/or frame rate converted to the required standard.
Four SD/HD/3G-SDI outputs allow the converter to be used as a 1 to 4 distribution amplifier. SDI output pair 1 can either be a copy of the SDI input (default) or the same as pair 2.
The MD-HX incorporates an LCD and button control system. This gives you access to features that usually require a computer. Adjusting DIP switches or having access to a computer to change a simple setting are not needed with the MD-HX.
The audio pairs in the SDI and HDMI outputs can be rearranged as required.
The unit incorporates a USB port for control and firmware updates.
